Music

Music instruction is provided for all students at CCS. The youngest students in the Pre-K 3-year-old class, Pre-K 4-year-old class and Kindergarten learn the value of notes, placement on the treble and bass clef, pitch articulation, rhythm and tone. By 2nd grade, students are composing small melodies and by 5th grade are playing hand bells and have mastered basic keyboarding skills. A new type of music is introduced to children each year as they progress through a comprehensive music appreciation curriculum from folk and spiritual to classical. Students also learn about the lives of composers to better understand their compositions.
